“Very good service the are very nice people and kindly“

“Great local food with excellent service!“

“Can't wait to come back! Got the Bananas Foster French Toast. It was very good, I probably would get a side of eggs or meat for more substance though. Tried the biscuits and gravy with eggs, which the gravy was well seasoned! Also tried the pancake sandwich and it is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Intend on getting the shrimp and grits the next time I come back!“

“Great service and delicious healthy food.Thanks Saphyre and Alexa!“

“The star of the show here is Kelli. While the atmosphere is honestly great. It was extremely clean and exactly what you think of when you think of a brunch place. The food was so so. Some dishes like the smores pancakes are to die for while the hashbrowns really lacked flavor and were bland. The reason I still give 5 stars is because of Kelli! I was there with a small group for work and we are honestly a very rowdy bunch. Not only did she play along with our craziness she poked back and made it such a fun experience. She was friendly, outgoing, positive, upbeat, and was still incredibly attentive even with all of our shenanigans. The reason I would go back is specifically to sit at her table. Without her I am not sure if I would have come back but I honestly would recommend going and ask to sit at her section. Thank you Kelli for a great experience!“

There were a few mixups on our order from the kitchen and she handled the entire experience with tremendous GRACE, urgency, and a level of service that you wouldn't expect from a teenager! She is FANTASTIC! Thank you Kylie! We will be back whenever we are in town to see you! 💓“
